Where to Look for Fashions.

If it were necessary for American women
to look to foreigners for their fashions they
might much better go little farther south,
across the Pyrenees The women of Spain
have world wide reputation for the grace
and loveliness Of their dress. Why is it we
have never attempted to copy them? Artists
love to paint their graceful mantillas and
flowing veils Of lace-they make such beauti-
full pictures, and yet wo ignore them, and
cling to gaudy Paris. We see this same
flowing drapery which the Spanish women
love. in the costumes of our actresses. They
mako study of artistic effects, and we go
wild with admiration over the results. Why
should VIC consider such dresses, made more
plainly, Of course. and of sober colors, out of
place in the house or the street. Only be-
cause custom has blinded our eyes Let us
take of the veil for minute, and calmly
compare the stiff, contorted, immoleSt fig
ures Of the fashion plate with the graceful,
flowing drapery that could so easily be sub
stituted-Dress.

Clothes That Kill.

The advice to women to promote their
health by out door exercise is never wanting
But no amount of fresh nir exercise can save
women from the evil effects of their present
style of dress. 1t is their clothes that Kill
them.
Every step woman takes her foot contends
with her skirt. She lifts it on the instep, and
she lifts it on the heel The weight may be
ounces or pounds, but it is taken up at every
step. The heavy skirts, with founces, over
skirt, and other trimmings, hang their many
pounds, tapping around the feet and legs OF
the wearcr. The corset does not allow space
to take full breath, and the tight sleeve,
cause the muscles to cry for room Dressed
in this fashion, the wearer comes back from
her walk for "fresh air and exercise tired
through and through, and is the worse for it,
because she has lifted and carried hundreds Of
pounds
Stand at any city street corner and watch
the women as they pass. How tired they
look! How their dresses flap around them.
Contrast them with men. Mems feet lift no
weight of clothes. Mems steps contend with
nothing. Every muscle has its natural exer-
else. Outdoor air and exercise are good for
them.-Herald Of Health.
